Where to Preorder:
Securing a card on launch day requires checking multiple retailers. Prioritize those with a history of quicker shipping. Bundle deals (especially at Newegg) might offer a better chance of acquisition.
Retailer Breakdown:
- Best Buy: Often a good option for Founder's Edition cards and generally fast shipping.
- Newegg: Largest selection of AIB (third-party manufacturer) cards; check bundle options if standalone cards sell out. Ensure you buy directly from Newegg, not a marketplace vendor.
- Nvidia Store: Founder's Edition cards are typically scarce here. Consider registering for notifications.
- Amazon: Difficult to navigate; prioritize purchases directly from Amazon, avoiding marketplace sellers.
- Adorama & B&H Photo: May have longer shipping times.
- Micro Center: Best in-store option for local customers; expect lines.
IGN Reviews:
Our reviews highlight significant AI performance boosts (DLSS 4) but relatively modest gains in traditional gaming performance compared to the RTX 40-series. The upgrade is more compelling for users with older hardware.
